Nasake no Shio Monaka
This monaka was created by Kanazawa Sohonpo of Joetsu City, inspired by the anecdote of Uesugi Kenshin 'sending salt to his enemy.' The shell is uniquely shaped like a salt bale, which was historically used for transporting salt, making it truly eye-catching. Inside the fragrant shell, you will find carefully prepared bean paste made from premium Tamba Dainagon adzuki beans and chewy mochi. It is well-loved as a confection associated with Lord Kenshin, standing alongside the shop's 'Shutsujin Mochi.' This luxurious treat allows you to enjoy the crispy shell, elegant bean paste, and the texture of mochi all at once. It is a proud souvenir of Joetsu, perfect for savoring while reflecting on historical romance. The unique appearance, shaped like a salt bale, also makes it a great conversation piece.
